The answer

Funds endowed for a specific entity, such as a mosque, may not be spent on anything other than their designated interests. Therefore, it is not permissible to pay for an internet subscription from mosque funds, as preparing lessons and sermons from the internet can be forgone by preparing them from books and electronic libraries.
